WWE Royal Rumble 2018

Pre-show sees Kalisto beat TJP with good lucha things in a six-man tag. The Revival beats the Club in a tag match. Bobby Roode issues an open challenge and Mojo accepts. Roode with the belt over the robe looks surprisingly good. I love Mojo having the VA flag on his gear. Mojo misses a corner charge and a tornado DDT ends it.
WWE Title match is the opener, and it's mainly AJ vs. Sami with a bit of KO. AJ beats KO when he was illegal and he calls out Shane on it. Shane says "yep!". Ha! Usos get a clean sweep against Benjamin and Gable. Men's rumble is up and Balor is given a lot of time to shine. Andrade Almas interrupts Elias's performance! Cena is in and takes out the drifter. Hurricane is a surprise entrant! Adam Cole is in AS IS REY. And holy shit is Rey in shape. Dude's in long tights with an all-new design and looks amazing. Double 619 to Cena and Roman, but Balor tosses him out. Balor makes the final 4 with Cena, Reigns, and Nakamura. Nakamura wins it after tossing Reigns out.
Raw tag title match is basically just a handicap match with them "taking Jordan out" to explain his injury and they beat Seth. Kane has new gear and Seth's new "burn it down" gear is damn near like Kane's stuff. This is just a giant garbage brawl with spots and stiff shots from Braun and Brock. Kane sends Braun down and Brock pins Kane. Steph comes out to announce the Stephanie McMahon appreciation hour with 30 other women involved. Lita is in and is no worse than she was in her prime. Kairi is in and is awesome. Molly, Torrie, Vickie, Michelle, Kelly, Ember, and Nia are in. Beth returns and faces off with Nia. Trish is in and looks great. Brie returns in body-covering gear and Asuka wins the rumble. She gets her pick of which champion, and they both come in before RONDA ROUSEY DEBUTS! She's got her Hot Rod font tron and shirt and it's awesome. She's even got on a Piper-esque jacket! Ronda points to the sign while a holy shit chant breaks out.
